Not gonna lie, this one is pretty steamy! (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
With introductions out of the way in Chapter 1, it's time to see how our favorite ronin reacts upon learning the truth. There are certain to be some big changes in store for them—changes that required a decent bit of programming under the hood! Really happy with how it all turned out and I hope you are, too!
Oh, and warning: this chapter is nsfw!

For these last few portraits: the gender poll will work as it always has, but for personality/expression and hair, I'll be excluding options that have been used before with the same gender-type.
For example: since we've already done a Feminine Charming ronin, Charming will no longer show up during that particular face poll. Hope that makes sense!

Hey patrons! Wanted to give you guys an update on face portraits going forward. I'm not sure how many I want to do in total (probably 16-20), but I do want there to be some diversity with these last few.

A new month, a new face! That's right: in Book 5, players will be able to (optionally) select a face for their main character! Faces will be designed each month by the intermediate+ tiers via polls. This month's face was drawn by Peekase (twitter, pixiv)!

It's hard to believe it's been over two years since early access began for Book 4. A lot of crazy things have happened since then—most of them good! Reading the old posts, I was bragging about this patreon being over $200 back then. Now look at it! The amount of support you guys have given me is frankly insane.
Joining the early access, especially this early on in the process, means a lot to me. Ten bucks a month is not cheap, especially when ...

Like last time, it'll be one chapter (two if the chapters are shorter) released on the 15th of every month leading up to the book's release. I'm pretty hyped about giving you guys a glimpse about what I've been working on—and where MC's journey takes them next!

Hey readers! Wanted to give everyone an update about the side stories going forward. I always knew the time would come when I would squeeze the last remaining juice out of these characters. There's only so much more I can explore with them going forward, and so I'm setting a limit to the sidestories at 30.
